I'm in the same spot.Never liked the way Apple does things. Never bought an Apple product. But the last few months, I've been considering an Apple TV sub. I'm watching 5 or 6 series, and have enjoyed several of their movies.
I might even give up Netflix for it. Which feels strange, since my Netflix account is nearly as old as Netflix itself. Used to rip so many Netflix DVDs.
Of course not. But this is about opening up people to more broad ways of thinking. You seem to be ignoring anything broader than humans. Not all people are humans.
In humans that's true.But what of alien body hopping slugs, who are half themselves and half their host? It doesn't seem right to assume the blending of consciousness and frequent body swapping wouldn't change that notion.
Is it outdated, or just substantially different?Human ideas of identity don't incorporate a person literally moving from one aged body to another youthful one, several times over hundreds of years.
The band should not get to lay claim all these different interpretations from their name alone.
Which is exactly what they're NOT doing. They had a name that was working for them for 25 years. They never sued anyone over using that name, because none of the other uses caused any problem for them. But now one has. When trying to find and identify a band named demon hunters, there is confusion with the movie. People can't find the actual band any more. It's only right for Netflix to compensate them for that harm.
I'm sure they'll settle out of court, and come up with a new band name.Demon Slayers sounds obvious to me. Or maybe The First Demon Hunters.
Absolutely agree. They shouldn't be able to go after every use of demon hunters. And they aren't. They're only going after the one that's caused actual demonstrable damage to the use of their trademark.
The thing they have to fight though is that when you register for a trademark, it doesn't apply to every sector.
Absolutely true! Which is why it's good that they're both in the entertainment sector.And I'm sure it's a non zero percentage of people who do think the fictional band is called Demon Hunters. But that may not even matter. There is a lot of overlap, being both in entertainment, and about music and bands etc. Hell, both are even about actual demons! This is a Christian metal band after all.
They've been a band with a trademarked name for 25 years. Netflix used that same name as part if the movie title. The band can show measurable harm to their trademarked brand, by citing Google search results for Demon Hunter.
I can't imagine Netflix would change the name of the movie, but paying the band for the damage to their trademark, and compensation for having to rebrand and trademark a new band name is a reasonable cost of success for Netflix.
The extra $250 was being charged by a US reseller.With Fair Phone selling direct to the US now, it's available for MSRP.I can't say how "cheep" $650 is to you.
Boldness is all !
